Apparently its the same in 2023 a Oct and Nov aflw

Amazing this means davey and Bonnici have been matchless for 2 years.

I guess they can always play VFLW in which i think they will.

Thought they were going back to right feb and march spot or best still play as curtain raisers at the mcg forst half of the season.

There will be a quite a few changes to the Pies team for the 2023 season.

A few players are not happy and looking at moving clubs.

Chloe Molloy has been offered a big contract at the Swans plus off field role. She will sign on as their top tier marquee player.

Jaimee Lambert being courted by the Saints.

Mikala Cann looking at moving to the Hawks - Meg Hutchins is still close to many players and using connections to sound out players about a move.

Some players were unhappy with how the voting of the B&F panned out and comments were made on the night that were not received well.
A bit of a disconnect has developed over the past year b/w coaching staff and players which has lead to players looking at other clubs. Pies could see an exodus similar to when North joined the competition and raided the playing list.

Add to this the feeling that the AFL does not take the women's game seriously with the ad hoc way they have decided on season dates. With no dates set for 2023, players are having to make hard decisions about continuing their football or careers etc. outside football.

Sad and a real shame regarding player discontent amounst the player group at Collingwood.
I would have thought they were really happy and pleased with playing for the pies and like an onwards and upwards approach.
Hope we keep Molloy Lambert and Cann. All can play and play well.
I figure the whole aflw is a mess and really players are pulling out left right and centre.
I feel vflw is better run and a better comp.
Time will tell on the real future of the aflw.
I think the vflw is stable not so aflw.
I hope Collingwood aflw can pull together and unite.
I am really surprised on these reports Dark Beanie.
